The entire patch is stitched in embroidered thread on a felt backing, which gives you a textured, durable, classic-looking patch that holds up on jackets, hats, tactical bags, and tour merch for years. Embroidered is the heaviest and most traditional patch option we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-patch drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering patches for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat 100% embroidered patches actually are\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe full surface of the patch is built from embroidered thread, including the background. There's no visible fabric showing through. The result is a thick, textured patch with the dimensional feel of classic scout, military, and varsity-style patches. If you've held a patch on an old letterman jacket or a band's denim vest, that's this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you'd prefer a fabric (twill) background with the design embroidered on top instead of full thread coverage, see our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/50-embroidered-patches\"\u003e50% embroidered patches\u003c\/a\u003e. They're a little lighter, slightly cheaper, and read closer to the classic scout-style two-tone look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tradeoff vs woven patches: 100% embroidered is thicker and more textured, but doesn't hold the same fine line detail. If your design is heavy on tiny script, intricate fine line work, or photo-realistic shading, woven or photo transfer might be a better fit. We'll tell you honestly which patch type fits your art before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEdge types\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMerrowed edge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic raised, rounded thread border you see on traditional patches. Works on simple shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle, oval). It's the cheapest and most familiar edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHot-cut edge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCut precisely to the shape of your artwork. Required for complex shapes with curves, angles, cutouts, or anything a merrowed border can't handle.

You send us your artwork (vector, raster, sketch, whatever you have), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward, so you're not surprised at the sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the order is confirmed and submitted to the factory, you'll see a hard sample within about a week (closer to 10 days for woven patches because of the weaving setup). The sample is a real, finished patch made from your design. You review it, approve it or ask for changes, and once approved the factory runs the full quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal door-to-door is about four weeks, including express shipping. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. If you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers digitizing, setup, the hard sample, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-patch and a 50-patch order, so a 25-patch run costs almost the same as 50 with half the patches. 50 is where the per-patch price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-patch pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-patch cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering patches for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing patches for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

As a rough anchor, a 3-inch embroidered patch lands around a few dollars each at 100 units, and the per-patch price comes down meaningfully on larger runs. Email us your design and rough quantity for an exact quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between embroidered and woven patches?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmbroidered patches are thicker, more textured, and read as classic patches (think varsity, military, scout). Woven patches are thinner, hold finer detail, and look more like printed fabric. If your design is bold and dimensional, embroidered. If it's intricate or has tiny detail, woven. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/woven-patches\"\u003eMore on woven patches here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan my design have more than 8 colors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but designs with 9 or more colors require a custom quote because of the additional thread changes during embroidery. Send us your art and we'll quote it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a sample before the full run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. After the order goes to the factory, you'll see a hard sample (a real finished patch) within about a week. You review it, approve it or ask for changes, and once approved the full run goes into production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan patches be double-sided?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmbroidered patches are single-sided. The back shows the stitch pattern and the iron-on adhesive. If you need double-sided artwork, woven patches can do that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does an embroidered patch run take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks total: roughly a week for the hard sample, then full production after sample approval, plus express shipping. Hard deadline? Tell us before you order; we'll confirm whether we can hit it. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat artwork format works best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are ideal because they scale cleanly. High-resolution raster (300 DPI at print size) also works. We'll prep your file for the factory's digitizing process before submitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre your patches made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur patches are produced overseas at long-vetted factories. Our team is US-based and handles file prep, proofing, and customer success on every order. Our wooden products and stickers are the products we make in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStart a quote\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSend us your artwork and a rough quantity, and we'll come back with pricing and a timeline within a business day or two.

The sample is a real, finished patch made from your design. You review it, approve it or ask for changes, and once approved the factory runs the full quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal door-to-door is about four weeks, including express shipping. If you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll confirm whether we can hit your date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers digitizing, setup, the hard sample, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

The twill comes in a range of colors and you choose which one matches your design.

The twill background doesn't count against that color limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan patches be double-sided?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e50% embroidered patches are single-sided.

After the order goes to the factory, you'll see a hard sample (a real finished patch) within about a week. You review it, approve it or ask for changes, and once approved the full run goes into production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a 50% embroidered patch run take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks total: roughly a week for the hard sample, then full production after sample approval, plus express shipping. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat artwork format works best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are ideal because they scale cleanly. High-resolution raster (300 DPI at print size) also works. We'll prep your file for the factory's digitizing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre your patches made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatches are produced overseas at long-vetted factories.

Woven Patches","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom 100% woven patches for artists, indie brands, bands, and anyone whose design has fine detail that embroidered thread can't hold. Woven patches use a tighter weave instead of raised embroidery thread, which means they hold script, small text, intricate line work, and photo-realistic detail much better than embroidered patches do. They're also the thinnest, lightest patch option we make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-patch drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering patches for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat woven patches actually are\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of embroidering thread on top of a fabric backing, woven patches are constructed by weaving thin threads together to form the patch itself. The result is a flat, smooth surface with much higher resolution than embroidery can achieve. Tiny text reads cleanly, fine illustration translates accurately, and the patch lays nearly flat against fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tradeoff vs embroidered patches: woven is thinner and reads less dimensional. If your design depends on raised, textured, classic-patch feel (think varsity, military, scout-style), embroidered is the move. If your design has fine detail you'd lose in stitching, woven is the right call. We'll tell you honestly which patch type fits your art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEdge types\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMerrowed edge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic raised, rounded thread border.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers digitizing, setup, the hard sample, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-patch and a 50-patch order, so a 25-patch run costs almost the same as 50 with half the patches. 50 is where the per-patch price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-patch pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it.

Pricing is competitive with embroidered patches at most sizes, with the advantage that woven doesn't charge per color. Email us your design and rough quantity for an exact quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between woven and embroidered patches?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven patches are thinner, smoother, and hold finer detail. Embroidered patches are thicker, more textured, and read as traditional patches. Choose woven if your design has fine line work, small text, or photo-realistic detail. Choose embroidered for bold, classic, dimensional designs. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/embroidered-patches\"\u003eMore on embroidered patches here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan woven patches be double-sided?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Both sides of a woven patch can carry artwork, which is one of the things woven does that embroidered can't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre woven patches limited on color count?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Woven patches don't have the per-color cost structure that embroidered patches do. You can have as many colors as your design needs without affecting the quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a sample before the full run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. After the order goes to the factory, you'll see a hard sample (a real finished patch) within about 10 days. You review it, approve it or ask for changes, and once approved the full run goes into production. Woven samples take a little longer than embroidered because of the weaving setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a woven patch run take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks total: roughly 10 days for the hard sample, then full production after sample approval, plus express shipping. Hard deadline? Tell us before you order; we'll confirm whether we can hit it. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat artwork format works best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVector (AI, EPS, PDF) is ideal because woven patches can hold the precision vectors deliver. High-resolution raster (300 DPI at print size) also works. PNG with transparent background is fine for raster-only artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre your patches made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur patches are produced overseas at long-vetted factories.

Anodized Rainbow Plated Soft Enamel Pins","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom soft enamel pins with anodized rainbow plating for brands and creators whose designs benefit from a one-of-a-kind shifting metallic finish. Anodized rainbow plating gives each pin its own unique rainbow color pattern (primarily in the blue\/purple range with shifts toward green, gold, and red as light hits the surface). No two pins from the same run will look exactly identical — that variation IS the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-piece drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat anodized rainbow plating actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnodizing is an electrochemical process that creates a controlled oxide layer on the metal surface. The thickness of that oxide layer determines what color the metal appears, and varying the thickness across the surface produces the rainbow effect — different parts of the pin reflect different wavelengths of light. Because the process has natural variation, each pin's exact rainbow pattern is unique. Two pins from the same run will both look \"anodized rainbow\" but the specific blue-to-green-to-purple flow across the surface will differ slightly between pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base construction underneath the rainbow plating is soft enamel — colored inks recessed below raised metal lines, with the rainbow effect visible on the unprinted (metal-showing) areas of your design. Designs with more visible metal area show more rainbow effect; designs that fill heavily with enamel show less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft enamel with anodized rainbow plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase metal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each pin has a unique rainbow pattern, primarily in the blue\/purple range with shifts toward green\/gold\/red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional epoxy coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free clear epoxy top for added smoothness and durability (creates a mock hard-enamel surface while keeping the rainbow effect visible below)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume discounts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Significant price reduction at higher quantities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpress shipping included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the longer turnaround\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnodizing adds production steps that don't exist on standard plating finishes.

Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers.

The anodizing process creates natural variation in the rainbow pattern across each pin's surface. Every piece in your run will have the rainbow plating, but the specific blue-to-green-to-purple flow will differ slightly from pin to pin. Many buyers love this — it means each pin is a one-of-a-kind object. If you need uniform plating where every piece looks identical, see our standard soft enamel pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does it take 4-8 weeks instead of 4?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnodizing adds production steps beyond what conventional plating requires. The factory has to control oxide layer thickness across each piece individually, which takes more time. The variability we just described is also part of what extends the timeline — there's no way to bulk-process anodized rainbow pins as fast as conventionally plated ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add specialty inks?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Glitter enamel, glow-in-the-dark, and pearl inks work with anodized rainbow plating. Specialty inks add cost; email us for an exact quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the epoxy coating really free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Free on rainbow anodized pins. The clear coat creates a smooth top while keeping the rainbow effect visible below — useful when you want a hard-enamel-like surface but with the rainbow plating instead of standard finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre there volume discounts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Larger runs (200, 500, 1000+) get significant per-pin price reductions because the anodizing setup amortizes over more pieces. Email us with your quantity for an exact quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Digital proof for review before production. Revisions until you approve. Note that the proof shows your design with rainbow plating illustrated, but the actual unique rainbow pattern of each pin won't be exactly predictable from the proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnodized rainbow pins are produced overseas at long-vetted factories.

Wooden Pins, Made in USA, Sustainable Cherry Wood","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom wooden pins made in the USA from sustainable cherry wood. Warm, matte, and unmistakably not metal. Wooden pins are the right call when your brand has a material story to tell, when your art reads cleaner in wood than in enamel, or when you need a 7 to 10 day turnaround instead of the four-week wait an overseas enamel run takes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-pin drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering pins for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy wood, specifically\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWooden pins look and feel completely different from metal. There's no shine, no reflectivity, no jewelry polish. Instead you get a warm matte surface, visible cherry wood grain, and a natural texture that pairs differently against fabric and skin than metal does. Cherry wood specifically gets darker and richer with age, so a wooden pin worn on a jacket develops a patina over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe other reason brands and creators pick wood: material story. If your brand is built around sustainability, craft, nature, or anything where \"this is made of wood from a US mill\" is a meaningful sentence, wood is the right choice. We use sustainable cherry sourced from US suppliers and produce out of our US wood shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSustainable cherry wood\u003c\/strong\u003e, sourced from US mills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e at our wood shop.

You send us your artwork (vector, raster, sketch, Procreate file, whatever you have), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward, so you're not surprised at proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, most overseas products are 7 to 10 days to your door for wooden pins (about a month for our overseas products). That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 25\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWooden pins are the one pin product we make in smaller runs. They're produced at our US wood shop instead of overseas, which means we're not running into the same factory labor minimums that set the 50-piece floor on enamel. 25-piece runs are economically reasonable here in a way they wouldn't be for enamel. Good place to start if you're testing a design, doing a small convention drop, or want to see how a wood pin reads against your art before scaling up. Per-pin price still comes down meaningfully on larger runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers.

Small runs (25 to 50) are priced per-piece higher than larger runs since we're amortizing setup over fewer pieces. Email us your design and rough quantity and we'll come back with a quote within a business day or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre wooden pins really made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Cherry wood from US mills, cutting and printing at our US wood shop, shipped from a US warehouse. Our wooden pins and our stickers are the products we make in the US. Our enamel and UV pins are produced overseas at long-vetted factories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat artwork works well in wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBold designs, illustration, logo work, and anything with strong contrast read well on wood. Very fine line work or designs that depend on metallic highlights don't translate as well. Send us the artwork and we'll tell you honestly whether wood is the right choice or whether you'd be happier in metal. We'd rather redirect you than sell you a wood pin you'll be unhappy with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I get a wooden pin in non-cherry wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe standardize on cherry because it's the species we've dialed in for color, durability, and grain consistency. Other species are possible for larger custom orders; ask if you have a specific request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do wooden pins take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically 7 to 10 business days from proof approval, including shipping. The fast turnaround is one of the main reasons people pick wood over enamel for time-sensitive launches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Hard Enamel Keychains","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom hard enamel keychains for artists, indie brands, bands, and anyone who wants the smooth, jewelry-finish quality of hard enamel applied to a daily-carry product instead of a pin. Made with the same baked-and-buffed enamel process as our hard enamel pins (just slightly thicker, 1.8mm vs the standard pin thickness, for keychain durability) and finished with your choice of gold, silver, or rose gold hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-piece drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat hard enamel keychains actually are\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHard enamel is a manufacturing process where colored enamel is filled into a metal mold and baked at high temperature until it hardens. Once cooled, the surface is buffed flat so the enamel sits flush with the raised metal lines. The result is smooth to the touch, durable, and reads cleanly at arm's length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhy hard enamel for a keychain specifically: keychains live in pockets, get banged around in bags, and rub against keys all day. Hard enamel's polished, flush surface holds up to that abuse much better than soft enamel does. The tradeoff vs \u003ca href=\"\/products\/keychain-soft-enamel\"\u003esoft enamel keychains\u003c\/a\u003e is finish, durability, and price. Hard enamel costs slightly more and takes a little longer; you get a flatter, harder-wearing keychain that holds its quality for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold, silver, or rose gold.

Complex shapes with deep cut-ins, holes, or thin interior sections need a die-cast zinc alloy mold, which costs more because zinc holds finer detail than iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure which category your design falls into, send us the artwork and we'll tell you.

You send us your artwork (vector, raster, sketch, Procreate file, whatever you have), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward, so you're not surprised at proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, most overseas products are about a month to your door. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProp 65 compliant\u003c\/strong\u003e on metal-and-enamel keychains, tested for lead and phthalates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

Soft enamel keeps the metal lines raised and the color recessed below them, so you can feel the texture. Hard is more durable and reads cleaner; soft is more tactile and supports finer line detail. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/keychain-soft-enamel\"\u003eMore on soft enamel keychains here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the mold thicker than your pin molds?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeychains take more daily abuse than pins. They're banged around in pockets, rub against keys, and need to handle being yanked off a keyring. The 1.8mm default mold is sturdier than the standard pin mold and holds up better to that wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do print variants?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes if the print changes but the shape stays the same. Simple variants are no problem with at least 50 per color way. Lots of variants or specialty inks change the math; email us for an exact quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you do specialty inks like glitter or glow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Specialty inks (glitter enamel, glow-in-the-dark, translucent inks, pearl inks) are available; pricing varies by complexity. Email us for an exact quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Digital proof for your review before production is officially scheduled. Revisions are unlimited until you approve. We don't make a physical sample by default; if you need a single physical sample first, it doubles the turnaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do hard enamel keychains take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping.

to a daily-carry product instead of a pin.

Same construction as our soft enamel pins, just thicker (1.8mm by default) and finished with your choice of hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-piece drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat soft enamel keychains actually are\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoft enamel uses the same enamel-fill process as hard enamel, but the surface isn't buffed flat after baking. The metal lines stay raised, the colored enamel sits recessed below them, and the keychain reads with more visible craft and texture. It's the more illustrative, more handmade-feeling option of the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoft enamel runs a little cheaper than \u003ca href=\"\/products\/keychain-hard-enamel\"\u003ehard enamel keychains\u003c\/a\u003e and supports finer line detail since nothing gets polished away. The tradeoff is a slightly less polished final look. For artwork with delicate lines, intricate detail, or designs where the texture itself is part of the appeal, soft enamel is usually the right call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold, silver, or rose gold.

That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients.

The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProp 65 compliant\u003c\/strong\u003e on metal-and-enamel keychains, tested for lead and phthalates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

Washi Tape, Full Color CMYK, 10m Rolls","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom washi tape for crafters, journalers, indie brands, packaging-conscious businesses, K-pop fan merch, paper-goods stores, and anyone who wants their design printed on a useful, repeating, decorative tape. Full-color CMYK printing on 10-meter rolls with a 350mm pattern repeat, minimum 50 rolls per design. Custom widths available, and each roll can carry an optional custom sticker label on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-piece drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat custom washi tape actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWashi tape is a Japanese paper-based decorative tape with a low-tack adhesive backing. It's the staple of journaling, scrapbooking, gift wrapping, packaging design, and small-scale paper craft. Unlike regular tape, it's removable and repositionable — you can stick it down, peel it back up, and reapply it without leaving residue or tearing the surface underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCustom washi tape applies your full-color design as a repeating pattern across the tape surface. The pattern repeats every 350mm (about 14 inches) along the roll, so the same design appears six or seven times across a single 10-meter roll. Most designs are tile-able illustration, repeating logos, brand patterns, or character art that reads well as a repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe factory connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCustom washi tape is hard to source unless you have a direct connection to a factory in Asia. We have one. Working with us means you get a US-based partner who handles the file prep, factory communication, production oversight, and quality check, without you having to navigate overseas vendor relationships, factory-level minimums, or shipping logistics yourself. The product is the same as you'd get going direct (we don't print it ourselves; the same factory does), but the production experience is dramatically simpler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-color CMYK on 10-meter rolls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern repeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 350mm (your design repeats roughly every 14 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom widths:\u003c\/strong\u003e Common sizes plus custom widths on request (email us with your width and quantity for a quote)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMultiple designs per order:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, as long as each design hits the 50-roll minimum at the same width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional custom sticker label\u003c\/strong\u003e on top of each roll for branding (additional charge)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpress shipping included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow a washi tape run actually works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost orders start with a quote, not a cart. You send us your artwork (vector preferred for repeat patterns), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll prep your file with the correct repeat distance and bleed settings before submitting to the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, washi tape is about four weeks to your door for standard CMYK and 6 to 8 weeks for less-common foils that the factory has to source separately. Shipping is express and included. We work directly with the washi tape factory so you don't have to navigate overseas vendor relationships, MOQs at the factory level, or shipping logistics yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll confirm whether we can hit your date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our washi tape minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The overseas washi tape factory we work with charges a labor minimum that covers digitizing, plate setup, ink mixing, and the print run itself. That floor barely changes between 25 and 50 rolls per design, so 50 is where the per-roll price actually starts to make sense. Multiple designs per order are allowed as long as each design hits 50 rolls in the same width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom washi tape is hard to source unless you have a direct factory connection in Asia. We've been working with the same vetted factories for years, which means consistent quality, predictable timelines, and no chasing the lowest quote at the cost of the product. You get a US-based partner who handles the relationship for you, instead of trying to navigate overseas vendor logistics yourself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuality good enough for licensed brands.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've produced merch for officially licensed properties and large brands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA team of artists, musicians, and brand owners.\u003c\/strong\u003e Not customer-service reps trained on a script.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's a 350mm pattern repeat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory prints washi tape on a continuous roll, with your design repeating every 350mm along the length. So on a 10-meter (10,000mm) roll, your design appears about 28 times in succession. Designs that read as a repeating pattern (illustration that tiles, repeating brand marks, character art that flows) work best. Single-image designs that don't tile work too, but the user will see the same image repeating throughout the roll.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sizes (widths) of washi tape can you make?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon sizes from 15mm up to 30mm and beyond. Custom widths are available on request — email us with your width and quantity, and we'll quote it. Different widths have different per-roll minimums; standard 15mm is the most economical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do multiple designs in one order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Multiple designs per order as long as each design hits the 50-roll minimum and they're all the same width. So 100 rolls could be two designs at 50 each, or four designs at 25 each (no — minimum per design is still 50, so 100 rolls is two designs maximum).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the optional custom sticker label?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach washi tape roll typically ships with a small sticker label on top of the roll showing the design or brand. Standard labels are simple. We offer an upgraded custom sticker label with your branding on top of each roll for retail-display purposes. Adds a small per-roll cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat artwork format works best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are ideal because the pattern repeat needs to tile cleanly. High-resolution raster (300 DPI at print size) works for non-tiling designs. CMYK is preferred; RGB converts and we proof carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a washi tape order take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door for standard CMYK rolls, including express shipping. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Digital proof showing how your design tiles on the tape before we go to the factory. Revisions until you approve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWashi tape is produced overseas at a long-vetted factory in Asia. Our team is US-based and handles file prep, proofing, and customer success. Our wooden products and stickers are made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you do foil washi tape too?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/washi-tape-foil\"\u003eCustom foil washi tape\u003c\/a\u003e is a separate product with metallic foil accents.

Foil Washi Tape, Metallic Accents","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom foil washi tape for crafters, packaging designers, indie brands, paper-goods stores, and anyone whose washi design wants real metallic shine instead of just printed color. The foil isn't ink — it's actual metallic film bonded to the tape surface, so it catches light the way printed metallic colors can't. Common foil colors (gold, silver, rose gold) ship in about four weeks; less-common foils take 6 to 8 weeks because the factory has to source the material separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-piece drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat custom foil washi tape actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFoil washi tape uses the same Japanese paper substrate as standard washi, with the addition of metallic foil accents bonded directly to the tape surface. Where you specify foil in your design, the factory applies real metallic foil instead of printed ink. The foil catches light from any angle and reads as actual metallic shine, not just shiny-printed color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFoil works especially well for designs with frame elements, brand logos, accents within larger illustration, gift-wrap-style patterns, and anywhere the metallic gleam adds value.

You send us your artwork (vector preferred for repeat patterns), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll prep your file with the correct repeat distance and bleed settings before submitting to the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, washi tape is about four weeks to your door for standard CMYK and 6 to 8 weeks for less-common foils that the factory has to source separately. Shipping is express and included. We work directly with the washi tape factory so you don't have to navigate overseas vendor relationships, MOQs at the factory level, or shipping logistics yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll confirm whether we can hit your date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our washi tape minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The overseas washi tape factory we work with charges a labor minimum that covers digitizing, plate setup, ink mixing, and the print run itself. That floor barely changes between 25 and 50 rolls per design, so 50 is where the per-roll price actually starts to make sense. Multiple designs per order are allowed as long as each design hits 50 rolls in the same width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom washi tape is hard to source unless you have a direct factory connection in Asia.

It catches light from any angle and reflects with the depth of polished metal. Printed metallic ink is colored ink that simulates metallic appearance — it reads metallic at a glance but doesn't have the same reflective shine when tilted. Foil is the premium option when you want the real metallic look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat foil colors are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon foils (gold, silver, rose gold) are stocked and ship in about four weeks. Less-common foils (other metallic colors, holographic foils, color-shift foils) are available on request but take 6 to 8 weeks because the factory sources them separately. Email us if you want a specific color so we can confirm availability and timeline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the pattern repeat tighter (250mm) than CMYK washi?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foil application machine has different mechanical constraints than the CMYK print press. 250mm is the repeat distance the foil applicator can hold accurately. Your design will repeat about 40 times across a 10-meter roll instead of the 28 times a CMYK design repeats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the 0.3mm foil spacing requirement?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoil elements need at least 0.3mm of clearance between themselves and adjacent foil elements (and 0.3mm minimum stroke width on individual foil details). Anything tighter risks the foil bleeding or merging into a single foil mass. We'll review your file and tell you if any details need to be adjusted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I combine foil with full-color printing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The factory can run both processes on the same tape — foil accents plus CMYK color. Tell us in your file which elements should be foil and which should be CMYK, and we'll prep the file accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do multiple designs in one order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Multiple designs per order at minimum 50 rolls per design at the same width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a foil washi order take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks for common foils (gold, silver, rose gold). 6 to 8 weeks for less-common foils that the factory has to source. Includes express shipping. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoil washi tape is produced overseas at a long-vetted factory in Asia. Our team is US-based and handles file prep, proofing, and customer success. Our wooden products and stickers are made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat artwork format works best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are essential for foil washi because the foil application needs precise vector outlines to follow. Raster art doesn't work for foil placement (it works for the CMYK portions if you're combining processes). Send foil-only details as vector layers in your file.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStart a quote\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSend us your artwork and a rough quantity, and we'll come back with pricing and a timeline within a business day or two.

Acrylic Charms, Single-Sided Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom single-sided acrylic charms for keychains, bag tags, zipper pulls, and brand merchandise. Single-sided means the artwork prints on the front face only, with a clean solid white back. More economical than two-sided printing because we only need one artwork file and one print pass, and the clean white back reads as a finished product rather than an unfinished one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-piece drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat single-sided acrylic charms are\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn acrylic charm is a piece of clear acrylic shaped to your artwork's outline, with full-color printing on the surface and protected by additional acrylic or sealant. \"Single-sided\" means we print on the front face only; the back is sealed with a clean solid white finish. The white back works well when the charm is going to be visible primarily from the front (clipped to a bag, displayed on a hook, sitting flat on a table) and you want a clean, retail-finished look without paying for a second-side print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want different artwork on each face, see our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/acrylic-charms-double-print-single-or-double-board\"\u003etwo-sided acrylic charms page\u003c\/a\u003e. Two-sided costs more but gives you a full design on both faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSingle board vs double board\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSingle board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard. Front is your printed clear acrylic, back is sealed with a textured back layer in solid white. Lighter, slightly thinner, more economical. Works well for everyday charms where weight and price matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDouble board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo layers of clear acrylic with the print sandwiched between them, with the back board finished in solid white. Slightly heavier, more substantial in hand, with a touch more visible depth than single board. Pick this when you want the charm to feel premium or want extra durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlitter epoxy (single board only)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdds a sparkling layer over the printed front of a single-board charm. Adds shimmer without changing the artwork itself. Not available on double board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe bleed thing, briefly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery acrylic charm has a 3mm bleed of clear acrylic around the edge of your art. That's not optional, it's a manufacturing requirement to keep the cut clean. So if you order a 2\" charm, your art prints at about 1.75\" and the remaining 6mm is the clear acrylic edge. We handle this in file prep, so you don't need to design around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear acrylic with full-color front print, solid white back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single board (standard) or double board (premium)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecialty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glitter epoxy available on single board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included and pre-attached.

You send us your artwork (vector, raster, sketch, Procreate file, whatever you have), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward, so you're not surprised at proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, most overseas products are about three weeks to your door for acrylic charms. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

Clean and retail-finished. The texture is the same as our two-sided charm backs but without any printed art on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do single-sided with a colored back instead of white?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite is the standard back finish. Custom back colors are possible on larger orders; email us with your specific color request and quantity for a quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is single-sided different from two-sided?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-sided prints on the front only with a white back. Two-sided prints on both faces (front and back), letting you do different designs or mirror the same design. Single-sided is more economical because there's only one print pass and one artwork file. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/acrylic-charms-double-print-single-or-double-board\"\u003eMore on two-sided acrylic charms here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the charm shape have cutouts in the middle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the charm is cut to a single outline only. You can leave parts of the design intentionally transparent (a donut shape with clear acrylic in the center, for example), but the acrylic body stays solid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat hardware comes attached?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDefault is a metal keyring. We can also do ball chain, lobster claw, lanyard strap, or phone-strap loop on request. Tell us in the order notes which hardware you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat file format should I send?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePSD with transparent background at 300 DPI or higher is ideal. PNG with transparent background, vector files, or high-resolution JPG also work.

We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company.

Two-sided printing requires two artwork files when ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you only need a single-sided design with a clean white back, we make that as a separate, slightly less expensive product on our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/acrylic-charms-single-print-single-or-double-board\"\u003esingle-sided acrylic charms page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSingle board vs double board\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSingle board\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard. Front of the charm is your printed acrylic, back is sealed with a textured back layer that protects the print. Lighter, slightly thinner, more economical.

Front and back are both clear acrylic, which gives the charm more visible depth and a slightly heavier feel in hand. Pick this when you want the charm to feel more substantial or premium, or when the design depends on the see-through-acrylic depth effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGlitter epoxy (single board only)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdds a sparkling layer over the printed front of a single-board charm.

That's not optional, it's a manufacturing requirement to keep the cut clean. So if you order a 2\" charm, your art prints at about 1.75\" and the remaining 6mm is the clear acrylic edge. We handle this in file prep, so you don't need to design around it. The bleed reads as clear by default, or can be filled with white if you want a defined border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear acrylic with full-color printing on both faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single board (standard) or double board (premium)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecialty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glitter epoxy available on single board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Included and pre-attached.

That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

Each face needs its own file. If you want the same design on both sides (mirrored or identical), tell us and we'll set up the second file from your original. If the back is different (logo, brand mark, alternate art), send both files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between single board and double board?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle board has clear acrylic on the front and a textured sealed back. Double board has clear acrylic on both faces with the print sandwiched in between. Double board feels more substantial and reads with more visible depth; single board is the standard, lighter, slightly cheaper option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the charm shape have cutouts in the middle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the charm is cut to a single outline only. You can leave parts of the design intentionally transparent (a donut shape with clear acrylic in the center, for example), but the acrylic body stays solid through any \"hole\" in the artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat hardware comes attached?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDefault is a metal keyring.

Screen printed for 1-3 color designs with flat color and crisp lines. Sublimated wins on color accuracy and detail; screen printed wins on cost (typically) and on classic flat-color label-merch aesthetic. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/vinyl-record-turntable-slip-mats-screen-printed-1\"\u003eMore on screen-printed slip mats here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat thickness should I pick?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4mm is the sublimated default and works for most use cases. 2-3mm is preferred by DJs (less grip, controlled slipping during scratching). 4-5mm is better for record protection and archival display. If you're not sure, 4mm is the safe choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do double-sided sublimated slip mats?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Different designs are quoted as separate runs because each needs its own sublimation setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat artwork format works best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-resolution raster (300 DPI at print size) is ideal for sublimation because color depth matters. PSD, PNG, or high-res JPG all work.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients.

If you're not sure, 3mm is the safe choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does screen printing work on felt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInk is pushed through a mesh screen onto the fabric.

Acrylic pins are lightweight, fully printed in full color, and shaped to the outline of your design. They're a strong choice when you want the artwork to be the pin, not framed inside a metal border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-pin drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering pins for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat acrylic pins are made of\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach pin is two layers of clear acrylic with your full-color art printed and sandwiched between them. The print is protected from scratches and UV, and the clear acrylic gives the pin a slight depth and shine without the metallic look of enamel. Pins are single-sided (the print shows through one face) and ship with a safety-pin-style backing, which holds in plastic better than the metal post used on enamel pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecialty finishes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlitter epoxy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplaces the top acrylic board with a glitter-mixed epoxy layer. Adds sparkle directly over the print without a separate decal layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHolographic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA holographic pattern is added on top of the printed design, giving the pin a shifting rainbow effect under light. Works especially well on darker artwork where the holographic shift reads against deep colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStandard epoxy coating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clear epoxy layer over the top of a single-board acrylic pin. Adds a slight dome shape and extra durability for everyday wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe bleed thing, briefly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery acrylic pin has a 3mm bleed of clear acrylic around the edge of your art. That's not optional, it's a manufacturing requirement to keep the cut clean. So if you order a 2\" (50.8mm) pin, your art will print at about 1.75\" (44.6mm) and the remaining 6mm is the clear acrylic edge. We handle this for you in the file prep, so you don't need to design around it. The bleed can be left clear (the most common look) or filled with white if you want a defined border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow a run actually works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost orders start with a quote, not a cart. You send us your artwork (vector, raster, sketch, Procreate file, whatever you have), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward, so you're not surprised at proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, most overseas products are about three weeks to your door for acrylic pins (a month is more typical for our enamel and UV products). That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50, just with half the pins. 50 is where the per-pin price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it for your situation. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-pin cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering pins for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProp 65 compliant pins,\u003c\/strong\u003e tested for lead and phthalates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

PNG with transparent background or vector files work too. The print is CMYK, so RGB files will shift slightly during conversion. We proof carefully and let you approve before printing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the pin shape have cutouts in the middle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the pin is cut to a single outline only. You can leave parts of the design intentionally transparent (a donut shape with a clear center, for example), but the acrylic body stays solid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIf I order two designs of 50 each, are they priced as 100?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Each design counts as its own run because each one needs separate file setup and production. Quote them as two 50-piece runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat backing do they come with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafety pin style backing, glued to the back of the acrylic. Metal posts don't hold reliably in plastic, so safety pin is the standard for acrylic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the print scratch off?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print is sandwiched between two acrylic layers, so it's protected from direct contact. The outer acrylic surface itself can scratch over time with heavy use, but the print underneath stays intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do acrylic pins take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout three weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping. Hard deadline? Tell us before you order; we'll confirm whether we can hit it. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre acrylic pins made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcrylic pins are produced overseas at long-vetted factories. Our team is US-based and handles file prep, proofing, and customer success on every order. Our wooden pins and stickers are made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs there a protective film on the acrylic when I receive them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Each pin ships with a protective film on both sides; peel it off when you're ready to display them. The film keeps the surface scratch-free during shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStart a quote\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSend us your artwork and a rough quantity, and we'll come back with pricing and a timeline within a business day or two.

Your needle clings to the metal pin face while you're stitching, so it stops disappearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal must be zinc alloy because the body of the pin needs to be NON-magnetic so we can glue a magnet INTO it without conflict.

The result is smooth to the touch and reads as polished metal-and-jewel rather than as a textured stitched object.

Soft enamel keeps the metal lines raised and the color recessed below them, so you can feel the texture with your thumb. Hard is more durable and reads as polished jewelry; soft is more tactile and supports finer line detail. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/needle-minder-soft-enamel\"\u003eMore on soft enamel needle minders here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow strong is the magnet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrong enough to hold an embroidery needle through standard cross-stitch canvas, aida cloth, evenweave linen, and most embroidery hoop fabrics. The two-magnet design creates a sandwich grip significantly stronger than a single magnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do specialty enamel inks like glitter or glow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecialty inks (glitter, glow-in-the-dark) work better in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/needle-minder-soft-enamel\"\u003esoft enamel\u003c\/a\u003e than in hard enamel because the buffing process can dull the effect. If glow or glitter is important to your design, soft enamel is the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size needle minders can you make?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes up to 1.5\" use standard magnets at standard pricing. Sizes above 1.5\" need larger magnets, which adds cost and shipping weight. Email us for an exact quote on larger sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do hard enamel needle minders take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping.

Soft Enamel Needle Minders for Cross Stitch","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom soft enamel needle minders for cross-stitchers, embroidery artists, fiber arts brands, indie pattern designers, and yarn shops. Each needle minder is a soft enamel pin made in zinc alloy with two neodymium magnets included — one glued into a recessed well on the back, one that comes loose so you can clip the minder through fabric and hold it in place from both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-piece drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow a needle minder actually works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe setup is simple: the soft enamel pin sits on top of your work, the second loose magnet sits underneath the fabric, and the magnetic pull holds them together through any layer of cross-stitch canvas, embroidery hoop fabric, or apparel. Your needle clings to the metal pin while you're stitching, so it stops disappearing into the couch, the floor, or your sock drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is why the metal has to be zinc alloy specifically — the body of the pin needs to be NON-magnetic so we can glue a magnet INTO it without conflict. A standard iron pin wouldn't work because the iron itself is magnetic. Zinc alloy lets the embedded magnet do its job cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft enamel pin with raised metal lines and recessed colored fills (same as our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/soft-enamel-pins\"\u003esoft enamel pins\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc alloy (required for the magnet to work)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two neodymium magnets included — one glued in a recessed well on the back, one loose for the underside of your work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom mold creation included\u003c\/strong\u003e in the price\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpress shipping included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes up to 1.5\"\u003c\/strong\u003e at standard pricing; larger sizes need bigger magnets and cost more (email for a quote)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecialty options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSame specialty options as our soft enamel pins apply: glitter enamel, glow-in-the-dark inks, and free epoxy coating are all available. Soft enamel handles fine line detail well, and the texture (raised metal, recessed color) reads especially good on small needle-minder-sized designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow a run actually works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost orders start with a quote, not a cart. You send us your artwork (vector preferred for clean lines, raster works for full-color), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, most overseas products are about a month to your door. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCross-stitchers and embroidery artists who design and sell their own patterns. Fiber arts brands and yarn shops looking for retail products and giveaways. Indie illustrators producing fan-art needle minders for craft conventions. Subscription box companies adding a tactile collectible to monthly shipments. And any brand whose audience is specifically people who do hand-embroidery, sewing, or fiber craft. If your customers work with needles, this is the merch they want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProp 65 compliant,\u003c\/strong\u003e tested for lead and phthalates.

The two-magnet design (one in the pin, one loose) creates a sandwich grip that's significantly stronger than a single magnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size needle minders can you make?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes up to 1.5\" use the standard magnets at standard pricing. Sizes above 1.5\" need larger magnets to maintain the holding strength, which adds cost (and weight to shipping). For sizes above 1.5\", email us with your specs for an exact quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the metal have to be zinc alloy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc alloy is non-magnetic. We glue the magnet directly into a recessed well on the back of the pin. If the pin itself were made of iron (which is magnetic), the metal would interfere with the magnet's pull. Zinc alloy lets the embedded magnet work cleanly through the fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I use the second magnet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second magnet comes loose with each needle minder. When you sit down to stitch, you place the loose magnet under your work, set the needle minder on top, and the two magnets pull together through the fabric. Your needle clings to the metal pin face. When you're done, you separate them and put the loose magnet somewhere safe (in your project bag, attached to the pin, etc.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do specialty enamel inks like glow or glitter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Same specialty options as our soft enamel pins — glitter enamel, glow-in-the-dark inks, and a free epoxy coating that gives a smooth, hard-enamel-like top while protecting the specialty ink underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do print variants on the same shape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Simple variants are no problem with at least 50 per color way. Lots of variants or specialty inks add labor cost; email us for a quote on specific splits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do needle minders take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Digital proof for review before production is scheduled. Revisions until you approve. Physical samples available on request but they double the turnaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeedle minders are produced overseas at long-vetted factories. Our team is US-based and handles file prep, proofing, and customer success.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers.

Both terms describe the same vintage key-fob shape, the kind that hung on the wall at mid-century roadside motels and small-town hotels. Whichever term you use, this is the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much does a custom motel keychain cost?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepends on quantity, hardware, and whether you're going UV printed, foil embossed, metal, or wooden. UV printed plastic is typically the most economical of the four. Email us your design and rough quantity for an exact quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIf I do two designs of 50 each, is that priced as 100?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, each design is its own run because each one needs separate file setup and production. Quote two 50-piece runs separately.

If you want lots of low-quantity variants (numbering, serializing, frequent color changes), email us for a quote because the added labor changes the math.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the keychain be a different shape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe classic motel shape is what these are.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it.

So a 6\" standee will have your artwork at about 5.75\" plus the clear acrylic edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your artwork falls between two of our listed sizes (for example, 5.5\"), it rounds up to the next size's pricing. If you're unsure of the size your art needs, email it to us and we'll review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape of the front and back must match (same outline cut), but the artwork itself can be completely different on each face — same image mirrored, character art front and brand mark back, or two distinct designs that share an outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear acrylic with full-color printing on both faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-sided print, sandwich construction protecting both prints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coordinating acrylic base included so the standee stands upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cut to the outline of your artwork (with 3mm bleed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpress shipping included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOther standee options we offer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/acrylic-standee-w-base-single-sided\"\u003eSingle-sided acrylic standees\u003c\/a\u003e — front-facing artwork with a clean white back.

You send us your artwork (vector preferred for clean lines, raster works for full-color), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, most overseas products are about a month to your door. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

The shape of the cut must match (same outline on both sides), but the printed designs can be completely different. Common pattern: character or main artwork on the front, brand mark \/ alternate art \/ mirrored image on the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the shape have to match between front and back?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cut is a single die-cut through both acrylic layers. The outline can only be one shape. Within that outline, the prints on each face can be completely different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the size include a 3mm bleed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory needs clear acrylic around the edge of your printed design to keep the die-cut clean. We handle it in file prep so you don't need to design around it. The bleed reads as clear acrylic by default.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat artwork format works best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-resolution raster (300 DPI or better at print size) with transparent background, PSD or PNG. Vector also works. The print is CMYK; RGB converts and we proof carefully. For two-sided standees, you'll need two artwork files (one per face) unless you want the same design mirrored on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the print scratch off?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prints are sandwiched between acrylic layers and protected from direct contact. The outer acrylic surface itself can scratch over time with heavy use, but the prints underneath stay intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do standee orders take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Digital proof showing both sides plus the bleed handling before production starts. Revisions until you approve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcrylic standees are produced overseas at long-vetted factories.

Single-Sided Acrylic Standees with Base","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom single-sided acrylic standees for retail displays, convention table merch, fan-art collectibles, K-pop and pop-fan products, indie illustrators selling at artist alleys, and brand teams building shelf-ready merch. Each standee is a piece of clear acrylic shaped to your artwork's outline with a coordinating base, sized for display on tabletops and shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-piece drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat a single-sided acrylic standee is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn acrylic standee is a flat acrylic piece (cut to the outline of your design) that slots into a coordinating base, letting it stand upright on a shelf, table, or display surface. Single-sided means your artwork is printed on one face of the acrylic. The back is plain solid white, which keeps the standee retail-finished even when viewed from behind without paying for a second print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor displays where the back side will also be visible (rotating-display tables, glass display cases, anywhere customers walk around the standee), see our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/acrylic-standee-two-sided\"\u003etwo-sided acrylic standees\u003c\/a\u003e with art on both faces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizing and pricing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePricing is based on total size — pick a height first, then a width. The \"size\" includes a 3mm bleed of clear acrylic around the edge of your art (6mm total when counting both left and right edges), which is a manufacturing requirement to keep the cut clean. So a 6\" standee will have your artwork at about 5.75\" plus the clear acrylic edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf your artwork falls between two of our listed sizes (for example, 5.5\"), it rounds up to the next size's pricing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure of the size your art needs? Email it to us and we'll review and recommend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear acrylic with full-color printing on the front face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid white finish (clean retail-finished look from behind)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coordinating acrylic base included so the standee stands upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cut to the outline of your artwork (with 3mm bleed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpress shipping included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOther standee options we offer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/acrylic-standee-w-base-single-sided\"\u003eSingle-sided acrylic standees\u003c\/a\u003e — front-facing artwork with a clean white back.

You send us your artwork (vector preferred for clean lines, raster works for full-color), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, most overseas products are about a month to your door. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

Clean and retail-finished, but no artwork. If the back will be visible to customers (open shelves, rotating displays, glass cases viewed from multiple angles), consider \u003ca href=\"\/products\/acrylic-standee-two-sided\"\u003etwo-sided standees\u003c\/a\u003e where both faces carry artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the size include a 3mm bleed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory needs clear acrylic around the edge of your printed design to keep the die-cut clean. This is a manufacturing requirement, not an option. We handle it in file prep so you don't need to design around it. The bleed reads as clear acrylic by default.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do custom sizes outside the listed options?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but pricing rounds up to the next listed size if your dimensions fall between standard sizes. For sizes significantly outside our listed range, email us for a custom quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat artwork format works best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-resolution raster (300 DPI or better at print size) with transparent background. PSD or PNG. Vector files also work. The print is CMYK; RGB converts and we proof carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the print scratch off?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print is sealed and protected on the back side of the front acrylic layer, with the white back layer behind it, so the artwork is sandwiched between two protective surfaces. The outer acrylic surface itself can scratch over time with very heavy use, but the print stays intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do standee orders take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Digital proof showing layout and bleed before production. Revisions until you approve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcrylic standees are produced overseas at long-vetted factories. Our team is US-based and handles file prep, proofing, and customer success. Our wooden products and stickers are made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStart a quote\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSend us your artwork and a rough quantity, and we'll come back with pricing and a timeline within a business day or two.

We'll tell you what we'd need to make it production-ready. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eStart a quote\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alchemy Merch","offers":[{"title":"50 \/ up to

You send us your artwork (vector, raster, sketch, whatever you have), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward, so you're not surprised at the sample.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the order is confirmed and submitted to the factory, you'll see a hard sample within about a week (closer to 10 days for woven patches because of the weaving setup). The sample is a real, finished patch made from your design. You review it, approve it or ask for changes, and once approved the factory runs the full quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal door-to-door is about four weeks, including express shipping. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. If you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers digitizing, setup, the hard sample, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-patch and a 50-patch order, so a 25-patch run costs almost the same as 50 with half the patches. 50 is where the per-patch price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-patch pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-patch cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering patches for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing patches for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

Woven uses a tighter weave that holds finer detail, and they're thinner and lighter overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's a merrowed edge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA merrowed edge is the raised thick border you see on classic patches. It works on simple shapes (rectangle, circle, square, triangle). For complex or custom shapes, we use an embroidered edge instead, which handles curves and angles a merrowed edge can't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre patch keychains double-sided?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Both 50% embroidered and woven support different artwork on each side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do variants on a single run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Variants on a patch keychain (different colors or small art changes within one run) cost a little more because of the added labor and machine time, usually 20 cents or more per piece depending on complexity. Email us for an exact quote on your specific split.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do patch keychains take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks total: roughly 1 week for the hard sample if 50% embroidered (closer to 10 days for woven), then full production after sample approval, plus express shipping. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you make other sizes or shapes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Send us the artwork and the size you're looking for, and we'll quote it. Custom shapes are most economical at larger run quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat artwork format works best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVector (AI, EPS, PDF) is ideal. High-resolution raster (300 DPI at print size) also works.

The factory creates a custom mold from your artwork (included in the price), and each keychain is molded to that exact shape with the colors built into the material itself rather than printed on top. The result is a keychain where the artwork and the object are the same thing, with no separate print layer that can scratch off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e2D vs 3D options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e2D PVC keychain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlat construction with the design as a single relief surface.

We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward, so you're not surprised at proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, most overseas products are about a month to your door. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers.

PVC is the body itself, molded to your artwork's exact shape with the colors built into the plastic. Different aesthetic, different production process, and different price point. PVC is usually the right call when you want the keychain shape to match your artwork outline exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan my design have any number of colors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but each color requires its own mold layer, so very high color counts increase complexity and cost. Most PVC keychains use 4-8 colors. We'll quote based on your specific design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the design need outlines or linework?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, similar to enamel pins. The mold separates colors at distinct edges, so designs need clear linework or color boundaries. Photo-realistic art with smooth gradients won't translate to PVC; for that, see our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/keychain-uv-printed-full-color-custom-keychains\"\u003eUV printed metal keychains\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the keychain have cutouts or holes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The die-cut process can include holes, negative space, and complex outlines. We'll review your file and tell you if any specific cutouts will cause production issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Digital proof for review before mold creation. We'll show you exactly how the artwork will translate to PVC including color choices and any needed simplifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do PVC keychains take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping. The mold creation step is included in the timeline. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePVC keychains are produced overseas at long-vetted factories.

They flex and bend too easily, snap when stepped on, and look obviously cheap when held next to a real product.

The factory still charges a labor minimum that barely changes between 50 and 100 pieces, so the math just doesn't work below 100. Once you're past that floor, the per-piece price drops meaningfully on larger runs. Reprints of the same design (or a variant with new colors) save $50 because the mold is already created.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers.

The clip backing is sized to snap into the standard Croc hole (the small round perforations across the top and sides of Crocs). Same fit as factory Croc charms (Jibbitz). The charm sits flush against the shoe surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan they attach to regular shoelaces?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with an optional shoelace adapter (specify in your order notes). The adapter clips around the lace and provides a different backing that holds the charm without needing a Croc-style hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this different from a PVC keychain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame material, same molding process, different attachment hardware. Shoe charms have the snap-clip backing for Crocs. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pvc-keychain\"\u003ePVC keychains\u003c\/a\u003e have keyring or lobster claw hardware for keys. If you want both, we can quote them as separate runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the minimum 100 instead of 50?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePVC molding has a more complex setup than acrylic or enamel, which raises the factory's labor floor on small runs. Below 100 pieces, the per-piece price climbs steeply because the setup gets amortized over too few units. 100 is where the math starts to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the design need outlines or simple linework?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Like enamel pins, PVC charms need clear color separations because each color requires its own mold layer. Highly detailed photo-realistic art doesn't translate to PVC; we'll review your file and tell you if it needs simplification before going to mold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do print variants on the same shape?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Same shape with color changes is the most economical variant style — you save $50 on each reorder because the mold is already created. Tell us in your order notes which color changes you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do PVC shoe charms take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping. The mold creation step is included in the timeline. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Digital proof for review before mold creation. We'll show you exactly how the artwork will translate to the mold including color choices and any needed simplifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePVC shoe charms are produced overseas at long-vetted factories.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output.

You send us your artwork (vector, raster, sketch, Procreate file, whatever you have), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two.

That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

The clack is a sharp, percussive snap that carries across a room or a parade route. That's the whole appeal: fans are theatrical, attention-getting accessories, and the sound is part of the performance.

Satin is thicker, more opaque, and has a slight sheen that helps bright colors pop. For most uses, oxford is the right call. For designs with very bright or saturated colors, satin can be worth the upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I print on the handles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Useful when the brand name needs to be visible even when the fan is closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do clack fans take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping.

Below 100, the per-piece cost climbs sharply. 100 is where the math works.

Each design needs to hit the 100-piece minimum, and splitting an order does add $0.20 per piece in upcharges (extra setup labor for the split). Even with the upcharge, splitting 200 pieces into 100\/100 is still cheaper than ordering two separate 100-piece runs because some setup is shared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size are they?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrint area is 190mm (7.5\") × 15mm (0.6\") tall. The wristband is one size and fits most comfortably. The elastic stretches to accommodate different wrist sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does sublimation printing work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSublimation printing dyes the fabric fibers themselves instead of sitting on top as ink. The result is a print that's part of the material — won't crack, peel, or fade like surface-printed wristbands often do. Full color, fine detail, no color count limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do photo-realistic art?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Sublimation handles full color and gradients accurately, so photo-realistic artwork works well. Send high-resolution raster or vector and we'll handle file prep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat artwork format works best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVector files (AI, EPS, PDF) at the template dimensions are ideal.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50, just with half the pins. 50 is where the per-pin price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it for your situation.

The advantage shows up when your design has more than three or four colors or any gradient. UV doesn't charge per color the way enamel effectively does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat file format works best for UV printing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-resolution raster (300 DPI or better at print size) or vector with embedded raster elements both work. CMYK is ideal but we can convert from RGB; colors will shift slightly during conversion and we'll proof carefully. PNG with transparent background is a fine starting point if that's what you have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the print fade over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clear coat protects against UV fade and surface wear. With normal use (worn on a jacket, displayed on a board) UV pins hold their color for years. Heavy abrasion or constant outdoor exposure can wear the coat eventually, but this is true of any printed product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I combine UV with hard enamel in the same pin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers.

The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

UV printed is best for full-color artwork, illustration, or anything that depends on multiple colors. If your design is logo-only, engraved usually reads more premium. If your design has color or fine detail, UV printed is the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you do other shapes or sizes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The 30mm × 150mm standard works for most uses, but we can produce custom shapes (rectangle, paddle, key-shaped, custom outlines) and other sizes on request. Email us with your specs and quantity for a quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does an engraved logo hold up over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngraving is a permanent change to the metal surface, not a print layer. It won't fade, scratch off, or wear away with normal use. The engraved mark may darken slightly over time as it picks up oil from handling, which usually reads as more character rather than less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the printed design wear off?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe UV ink is sealed and protected from incidental handling. With normal daily use the print holds up for years. Heavy abrasion (using the opener as a pry tool, dropping it on concrete repeatedly) will eventually wear the surface, but this is true of any printed product. For maximum longevity, engraved is more durable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do specialty finishes like bronze, gunmetal, or brass-plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. We can do specialty plating finishes (gold, silver, bronze, gunmetal, brass, antique brass, etc.) on the metal body. Specify the finish you want in your order notes; for non-standard finishes email us first to confirm availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do bottle openers take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 to 4 weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Digital proof for review before production is scheduled. Revisions until you approve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle openers are produced overseas at long-vetted factories.

UV Printed Wooden Pins, Made in USA","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom UV printed wooden pins for brands and creators who want both the warm material story of wood and the full-color print fidelity of UV printing. Made in the USA from sustainably sourced cherry wood at our US wood shop, with your full-color artwork printed directly onto the wood surface using GreenGuard Gold certified UV-LED inks. The wood grain shows through unprinted areas, giving every pin a unique natural texture even though the artwork itself is consistent across the run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-piece drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat UV printed wooden pins actually are\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is the same sustainable cherry wood as our standard \u003ca href=\"\/products\/wooden-pins\"\u003ewooden pins\u003c\/a\u003e, cut to your custom shape with a silver butterfly clasp on the back. Where the standard wooden pin uses laser engraving (single-tone burning into the wood), the UV printed version uses full-color ink printed on the wood surface using UV-LED-cured GreenGuard Gold certified inks. The result is full-color artwork that retains the visible wood grain underneath in unprinted areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor single-tone laser-burned designs (no inks, just the wood color contrast), see our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/wooden-pins\"\u003estandard wooden pins\u003c\/a\u003e.

The main consideration is contrast: the wood grain shows through wherever the print is translucent or unprinted, so designs with deliberate transparency get a beautiful wood-and-color effect, while designs that rely on solid color blocks may want a white-ink underlayer to keep colors fully opaque (specify in your order notes if you want this).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow a run actually works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost orders start with a quote, not a cart. You send us your artwork, and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything that won't translate well to wood before we move forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, wooden products typically ship in 5 to 7 days from our US wood shop. That's significantly faster than overseas custom merchandise. Shipping is express and included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll confirm whether we can hit your date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 25\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWooden products are the one category we make in smaller runs. They're produced at our US wood shop instead of overseas, which means we're not running into the same factory labor minimums that set the 50-piece floor on enamel and metal products. 25-piece runs are economically reasonable here. Mix multiple designs in one order as long as each design hits the 25-piece minimum at the same size range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sustainable cherry wood from US mills, finished with GreenGuard Gold certified UV-LED inks.

UV printed uses ink to put full color on the wood surface. Burned reads more rustic and minimal; UV printed reads more vibrant and brand-forward. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/wooden-pins\"\u003eMore on laser-burned wooden pins here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's GreenGuard Gold and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreenGuard Gold is a third-party certification for indoor air quality and chemical safety. The inks have passed strict tests for VOC emissions and toxic compounds. Important for parent-facing brands, schools, indoor commercial use, and any audience whose buyers ask about ingredient transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the print fade over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUV-cured ink is sealed and protected. With normal wear (worn on a jacket, displayed on a board) the colors hold up for years. Heavy outdoor UV exposure can eventually fade printed areas, but the wood grain underneath stays unchanged. The pin still looks intentional even as the print weathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do specialty finishes on the wood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cherry wood is the substrate; we don't typically add additional wood finishes. The UV print is the visual differentiator. Email us if you have a specific finish request beyond standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do UV printed wooden pins take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 to 7 business days from proof approval to your door, including express shipping. Significantly faster than overseas custom merch because they're produced at our US wood shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these really made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Cherry wood from US mills, cutting and printing at our US wood shop, shipped from a US warehouse. Wooden products and stickers are the products we make in the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Sublimated Tote Bags, Full-Color All-Over Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom sublimated tote bags for artists, indie brands, music labels, fashion brands, and anyone whose tote design depends on full-color, all-over, edge-to-edge artwork that screen printing or DTF can't reproduce. Sublimation prints your design directly into the polyester fibers themselves, so the artwork becomes part of the fabric — no surface ink layer, no print boundaries, no color count limits. The result: a tote that looks like the design is the bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-piece drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat sublimation actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSublimation printing dyes the fabric fibers themselves rather than sitting on top as a separate ink layer. The dye turns to gas under heat, bonds permanently with polyester, and becomes part of the material. This is why sublimation only works on polyester (it can't bond to cotton fibers the same way), and why the print won't crack, peel, or fade like surface-printed totes do over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe other thing sublimation gives you: full-bleed all-over print. There's no boundary where the print stops because the entire fabric is dyed. Patterns, photo-realistic illustration, gradients, edge-to-edge color all work. Designs that would lose detail on screen printing or look pasted-on with DTF look natural on sublimation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12oz \/ 320 gsm polyester canvas (sublimation requires polyester)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40cm × 35cm (15.7\" × 13.8\") — fits a 12\" vinyl record cleanly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom sizes available\u003c\/strong\u003e on request for any dimension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-color CMYK sublimation, edge-to-edge all-over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo color count limits\u003c\/strong\u003e — full-color photo-realistic art works\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpress shipping included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA note on color\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSublimation uses CMYK, which covers most colors well but doesn't perfectly reproduce some RGB or neon values. If your design has very specific bright RGB-only colors (electric purples, neon greens, bright cyans), they'll shift slightly during conversion to CMYK. We proof carefully and tell you upfront if any colors will shift noticeably so there are no surprises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOther tote bag options we offer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/tote-bags-screen-printed\"\u003eScreen-printed cotton tote bags\u003c\/a\u003e — 12oz cotton canvas with screen printing (1-2 colors) or DTF (full color).

You send us your artwork (vector preferred for clean lines, raster works for full-color), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, most overseas products are about a month to your door. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

Screen-printed is cotton with ink applied to the surface — typically 1-2 colors with crisp lines. Sublimated wins for photo-realistic art and pattern designs; screen-printed wins for classic logo-driven cotton-feel merch. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tote-bags-screen-printed\"\u003eMore on screen-printed tote bags here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between sublimated and DTF?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDTF (direct-to-film) is also full color but sits on top of the fabric as a transferred print layer. Sublimation goes into the fibers. DTF works on cotton; sublimation requires polyester. DTF can have a slightly textured\/raised feel; sublimation feels exactly like the underlying fabric. Both are full color; the choice often comes down to whether you want cotton (DTF) or polyester (sublimation) as the base material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill sublimation hold up over time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Because the dye is in the fibers (not on top), it can't crack, peel, or wash off. The print lasts as long as the fabric does. Heavy outdoor UV exposure can eventually fade colors, but this is true of any printed product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat artwork format works best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-resolution raster (300 DPI at print size) or vector with embedded raster elements both work. CMYK is ideal; RGB converts and we proof carefully. PSD or PNG with transparent background is fine for raster-only artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do multiple designs in one order?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Multiple designs are allowed in increments of 50: a 100-piece order can be 50\/50, a 200-piece order can be 50×4. Each design is its own production run because each needs its own print setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do sublimated totes take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping. No rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Digital proof showing how your design lays out on the tote, with a heads-up on any colors that may shift in CMYK conversion. Revisions until you approve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre these made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSublimated tote bags are produced overseas at long-vetted factories. Our team is US-based and handles file prep, proofing, and customer success.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers.

Best for 1-2 color designs with clean flat color and crisp lines. DTF (direct-to-film) prints your full-color image onto a transfer film and heat-presses it onto the fabric. Best for designs with multiple colors, gradients, photo-realistic detail, or fine illustration. We pick the right method based on your artwork; you don't have to know which one to ask for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size are the totes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard 40cm × 35cm (15.7\" × 13.8\"), which fits a standard 12\" vinyl record cleanly.

We have 180 cotton fabric color options, so you can pick a tote color that matches or contrasts your design instead of being stuck with natural canvas.

Buyers commonly use these as point-of-sale display pieces at conventions, retail counters, and craft show booths to draw attention to a washi tape collection.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers.

Standard sizes typically hold 6-12 rolls; larger custom sizes can hold significantly more. Specify the rough roll capacity you need in your order notes and we'll size the base accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I have artwork on both sides of the topper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is the default. Double-sided printing is standard on the topper so the stand reads from any angle. The base is single-sided by default but can be upgraded to double-sided for an additional cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the topper be a custom shape, not just rectangular?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The topper can be cut to any custom shape — a logo silhouette, a character outline, a brand mark, anything that reads well at display size. The base is designed to coordinate with your topper shape for a unified look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sizes work best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost washi stand toppers are 4-8 inches tall.

We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company.

Hard enamel uses the same enamel-fill process as soft enamel, but the surface is buffed flat after baking — the colored fills sit flush with the raised metal lines, creating a smooth jewelry-quality surface. Reads as polished, premium, and finished compared to soft enamel's textured craft look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing to know about hard enamel at small earring sizes: the buffing process can thicken very fine metal lines slightly. We'll review your file at proofing and tell you if any details will be affected before going to production.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers.

Soft enamel keeps the metal lines raised with recessed color, giving a tactile dimensional feel. Hard for polished look; soft for craft-forward look. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/soft-enamel-earrings\"\u003eMore on soft enamel earrings here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do mismatched earrings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

At earring scale (0.35\"-1\"), this is more noticeable than on larger pins. We review the file at proofing and tell you if any details will be affected. For artwork with lots of fine detail, soft enamel or screen-printed-on-metal versions hold detail better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre international orders eligible for free shipping?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePricing on hard enamel earrings includes free shipping internationally — one of the few products where we bundle international shipping into the listed price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do earrings take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping.

The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50 with half the output. 50 is where the per-piece price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-piece cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers.

Some buyers want matched pairs; others want mismatched pairs (different design or color on each ear); some want runs of single earrings as merch giveaways. Pricing per piece keeps the math flexible. So 100 = 50 pairs, 200 = 100 pairs, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between soft and hard enamel earrings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft enamel has raised metal lines with recessed color you can feel. Hard enamel is buffed flush so the surface is smooth. Soft is more tactile and craft-forward; hard is more polished and jewelry-finished. \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hard-enamel-earrings\"\u003eMore on hard enamel earrings here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I do mismatched earrings (different art or color on each ear)?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Email us with your specs — we can run mismatched pairs as long as each design hits the minimum. Common pattern: one earring is character A, the other is character B, sold as a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the epoxy coating free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, on every soft enamel earring. We strongly recommend it for jewelry — the clear coat protects the recessed color from skin oil pickup over time and gives a smoother surface against skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I have specialty inks like glitter or glow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Same options as our soft enamel pins. Specialty inks add cost; email us for an exact quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size earrings can you make?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost custom earrings are 0.35\" to 1\". Larger is possible up to about 1.5\" with post backing or larger with hook backing. Email us if you need sizes outside this range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do earrings take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping.

The metal lines stay raised and the color sits recessed below the surface, which gives soft enamel its signature tactile, dimensional feel. Run your thumb across a soft enamel pin and you can feel the texture; that's the look you came for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-pin drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering pins for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat soft enamel actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoft enamel uses the same enamel-fill process as hard enamel, but the surface isn't buffed flat after baking. The metal lines stay raised, the colored enamel sits recessed below them, and the pin reads with more visible craft and texture. It's the more illustrative, more handmade-feeling option of the two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoft enamel runs a little cheaper than hard enamel and supports finer line detail since nothing gets polished away. The tradeoff is a slightly less jewelry-finish look. For artwork with delicate lines, intricate detail, or designs where the texture itself is part of the appeal, soft enamel is usually the right call.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecialty options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGlitter enamel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor enamel mixed with glitter for sparkle in specific fills.

Cool effect for star fields, eyes, accents. Glow inks read slightly more pastel than standard enamel under daylight, so we'll proof carefully if the daytime look matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEpoxy coating (free)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clear epoxy layer over the top of the pin gives it a smooth, hard-enamel-like surface while keeping the soft enamel feel underneath. We offer this free on every soft enamel pin. It also protects specialty inks like glitter and glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the price includes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery quote includes custom mold creation, full production at the factory, and express shipping. No setup fees, no surprise line items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSimple vs complex shapes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSimple shapes (rectangle, circle, square, soft continuous edges) stamp from iron sheets at standard cost. Complex shapes with deep cut-ins, holes, or thin interior sections need a die-cast zinc alloy mold, which costs more because zinc holds finer detail than iron. Pins over 2\" also require zinc alloy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure which category your design falls into, send us the artwork and we'll tell you.

Hard Enamel Pins","description":"\u003cp\u003eCustom hard enamel pins for artists, indie brands, bands, podcasters, and anyone making pins for a brand or project they care about. The enamel is baked and polished flush with the metal, which gives a smooth, jewelry-quality surface that holds color well and reads clean under light. Hard enamel is our most-ordered pin style, and usually the right call when you want a polished finish that wears well over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-pin drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering pins for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat hard enamel actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard enamel is a manufacturing process where colored enamel is filled into a metal mold and then baked at high temperature until it hardens. Once cooled, the surface is buffed flat so the enamel sits flush with the raised metal lines. The result is smooth to the touch, durable, and reads cleanly at arm's length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tradeoff vs soft enamel is finish, durability, and price. Hard enamel costs slightly more and takes a little longer to produce. In exchange you get a flatter, harder-wearing pin that holds up on jackets, totes, and pin boards for years. It's the right choice when you want retail-quality merch you can sell with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA note on fine line detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause hard enamel is buffed flat after baking, very fine metal lines may thicken slightly during polishing. That's a normal part of the process, not a defect, and usually not visible at arm's length. If your artwork has very thin lines you're worried about, send us the file before ordering and we'll review it. We'd rather flag a concern at file prep than have it surprise you on the proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the price includes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery quote includes custom mold creation, full production at the factory, and express shipping. No setup fees, no surprise line items at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMetal Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/4539\/6283\/files\/alchemy.hardenamel.pinmetals.jpg?v=1695911401\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSimple vs complex shapes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple shapes (rectangle, circle, square, triangle, and anything with soft continuous edges) can be stamped from sheets of iron. This is the standard, lower-cost mold process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplex shapes with deep cut-in areas, holes, or tight interior sections (cut-ins around legs, arms, hair, or intricate negative space) need to be cast in zinc alloy. Zinc is a softer metal that holds finer detail in the mold. The mold type and raw material both cost more, so complex-shape pins are priced higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure which category your design falls into, send us the artwork and we'll tell you. If you check out with the wrong category, we'll either refund the difference or send a request for the balance, so you're never locked in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Simple vs complex shape flowchart for custom hard enamel pins\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/4539\/6283\/files\/Alchemy-Flowchart-23-Colors.png?v=1697844035\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow a run actually works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost orders start with a quote, not a cart. You send us your artwork (vector, raster, sketch, Procreate file, whatever you have), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward, so you're not surprised at proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, most overseas products are about a month to your door. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our minimum is 50\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a factory math thing, not a quality stance. The factories we work with charge a labor minimum that covers setup, mold use, proofing, and the production run itself. That floor barely changes between a 25-piece and a 50-piece order, so a 25-piece run costs almost the same as 50, just with half the pins. 50 is where the per-pin price actually starts to make sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can run smaller hard sample runs if you really need to (the factory will do it), but it's not financially viable for most people: you're paying close to 50-piece pricing for a fraction of the output. If you're set on a small run, email us first and we'll walk through whether it's worth it for your situation. Larger runs (100, 200, and up) bring the per-pin cost down meaningfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering pins for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProp 65 compliant pins,\u003c\/strong\u003e tested for lead and phthalates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

As a rough anchor, a standard 1.25\" hard enamel pin lands around a few dollars each at 100 units, and the per-unit price comes down from there. \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/custom-enamel-pin-tips\/how-much-does-it-cost-to-make-enamel-pins-an-in-depth-breakdown\"\u003eFull cost breakdown on the blog\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between hard and soft enamel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard enamel is smooth and jewelry-like, polished flush with the metal. Soft enamel has raised metal lines you can feel with your thumb, with recessed colored fills. Hard enamel is more durable and reads cleaner at distance; soft enamel is more tactile and supports finer line detail. \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/resources\/enamel-pins-101-hard-or-soft-enamel\"\u003eLonger breakdown here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I see a proof before production?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. We send a digital proof for your review before production is scheduled. Once approved, the factory starts. Revisions are unlimited, we keep proofing until you approve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I get a physical sample before the main run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but it roughly doubles the turnaround. The factory has to do a full labor run for a single piece, and if approved, they restart the process for the main run. Worth it for large orders or first-time brand partners. Often not worth it for smaller runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long do hard enamel pins take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout four weeks from proof approval to your door, including express shipping. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas. If you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order and we'll confirm whether we can hit it. We don't charge rush fees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre your pins safety-tested?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Our pins are Prop 65 compliant and tested for lead and phthalates. Matters if you're selling to a parent-facing audience, producing for a brand whose legal team will ask, or just want to know your merch passes the same safety tests larger brands require.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre your pins made in the USA?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur enamel pins are produced overseas at factories we've worked with for years. Our team is US-based and handles file prep, proofing, and customer success on every order. Our wooden pins and stickers are the products we make in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you do backing cards or custom packaging?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Backing cards are a flat fee ($50 for the first 100, $25 per additional 100). Logo imprint on the back of the pin itself is a flat $40. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/pin-faqs\"\u003ePin FAQs\u003c\/a\u003e has more detail on packaging options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStart a quote\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSend us your artwork and a rough quantity, and we'll come back with pricing and a timeline within a business day or two.

You send us your artwork (vector preferred for clean lines, raster works for full-color), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, most overseas products are about a month to your door. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our notebook minimum is 500\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotebooks have a much higher MOQ floor than our other products because the production process involves multiple distinct steps: cover printing, paper sourcing in your chosen weight, page cutting, stitch binding, and quality inspection on every unit. Each step has its own setup cost. Below 500 units, the per-notebook price climbs sharply because all that setup is amortized over too few books. 500 is the smallest run where the math works cleanly for a real custom notebook product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, we regularly quote runs in the 200-300 range for buyers who specifically need fewer than 500. The per-notebook cost is higher in that range (you're paying close to 500-piece pricing for a fraction of the output), but it's a real option if your project genuinely needs that quantity. Email us with your specs and we'll walk through whether a sub-500 run makes sense for your situation. Larger runs (1000, 2000+) bring per-notebook cost down meaningfully and are where most brand and retail-bound orders live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.

Useful for retail packaging or for adding additional brand artwork visible without opening the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow a run actually works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost orders start with a quote, not a cart. You send us your artwork (vector preferred for clean lines, raster works for full-color), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at production size before we move forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom proof approval, most overseas products are about a month to your door. That's the nature of producing 100% custom merchandise overseas vs. shipping a stock promotional item. Shipping is express and included in the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy our notebook minimum is 500\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotebooks have a much higher MOQ floor than our other products because the production process involves multiple distinct steps: cover printing, paper sourcing in your chosen weight, page cutting, stitch binding, and quality inspection on every unit. Each step has its own setup cost. Below 500 units, the per-notebook price climbs sharply because all that setup is amortized over too few books. 500 is the smallest run where the math works cleanly for a real custom notebook product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, we regularly quote runs in the 200-300 range for buyers who specifically need fewer than 500. The per-notebook cost is higher in that range (you're paying close to 500-piece pricing for a fraction of the output), but it's a real option if your project genuinely needs that quantity. Email us with your specs and we'll walk through whether a sub-500 run makes sense for your situation. Larger runs (1000, 2000+) bring per-notebook cost down meaningfully and are where most brand and retail-bound orders live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho we work with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get with Alchemy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5+ million products produced\u003c\/strong\u003e for creators and brands since 2019.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% money-back guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e If it's not right, we remake it at no cost or refund you in full.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-standing factory relationships.\u003c\/strong\u003e We've been working with the same vetted overseas factories for years.
